Please join us for a panel reviewing the outcomes of the 2018 midterm elections, with an account of the factors producing this result. The discussion will provide competing perspectives on the implications of the elections for governance in the upcoming yearsand for the shape of the 2020 presidential and congressional elections. The participants are leading scholars on Congress, public opinion, and voting behavior.
